The Original Junk Yard Hammer

Ғылым және технология

Built by Grant Sarver and Jack Slack. I created the junkyard hammer challenge on the old "Blacksmiths Virtual Junkyard" or "Keen Junk" a dozen years ago. This was the result - a hammer built from junk! We brought it to the Ashville NC ABANA Conference and at the end sold it to the first guy with $100.00!

    Things like this are exactly the reason why I invested in an everlast welder. I collect junk anyway so I might as well make stuff out of it.

    The use of the leaf springs for de-coupling the rod from the hammer arm is blazingly brilliant!

    I have seen some others on here, but your hammer is truly a HAMMER!!! That's just awesome! Much beefier than others I have seen, looks quite rugged as well, and like the hits are very solid. Nice job, great ingenuity!

    this has to be one of the best home built power hammers I have seen so far, I would love to build one for myself, I am just not sure if or how I could get some of the parts like the flywheel pulley on the back, I have never seen anything like that so I don't have the slightest idea where to get that part from, I am very impressed and this video shows what someone is capable of with just a lil bit of imagination and the knowledge to accomplish the task at hand

    I really liked the clear narration along with showing the various mechanisms with their action. On of the best videos of its type I've seen to date. You have a good voice for the narration too. Nice and clear. Out of interest, what size was the Chev? 250, 292? I know what I can use mine for once it gets past it. Great video.
